The United Nations Refugee agency, UNHCR, has collaborated with photographer Bernice Chauly to show the images and tell stories of refugees in Malaysia in a photography installation titled ‘Face to Face’, reports IVY SOON. 

THEIR faces are currently occupying centre stage at an exhibition at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre, but the refugees who posed for the photographs will most probably never show up. Their lot as refugees has relegated them to anonymity, and they have largely remained hidden here.
